I think the whole point of Nicol is to be a bit like Lumb for England, and just swing from the hip. If the bowling's too good for him and he gets out then it doesn't matter much as long as he doesn't waste deliveries, and once in a blue moon it might come off if the bowling is poor. Someone forgot to tell Nicol this though I reckon.

Recognition of Property Rights in material objects is the recognition of a man’s right to exist; his right to pursue his own goals in his own manner at his own discretion with what is rightfully his to command. Just as the Right to Life is the right to the property of one’s own person, so the right to own material products is the right to sustain one’s life and to keep the results of one’s own efforts.
